Notes turn selected sources into a readable study document. You can generate quickly with defaults or customize the note style before starting.

## Before you start

- Add at least one source to your notebook.

- Wait for the source to show **Ready**.

- Select the sources you want the notes to use.

## Quick generate

1.  Open your notebook.

2.  Go to **Studio**.

3.  Click **Notes**.

4.  Open the generated notes when the run finishes.

## Customize before generating

1.  In Studio, click the pencil icon on **Notes**.

2.  Choose a note style such as bullet notes, table, Cornell, summary, toggles, or custom.

3.  Choose a skill if the dialog shows a skill selector.

4.  Set the output language if needed.

5.  Add custom instructions. Custom style requires instructions.

6.  Click **Generate**.

## After generation

Completed notes stay in Studio history. From there, you can usually open, rename, delete, or export them.

## Export options

Notes can be exported as Markdown or PDF. Use Markdown if you want editable text in another app, and PDF if you want a fixed document.

## Important notes

- Notes are generated from the sources selected at run time.

- The output language setting is shared across Studio and Memo Agent.

- Long or complex source sets can take longer to process.
